“…Once 24 duplicates were excluded, 213 titles and 68 abstracts were reviewed, 39 articles were fully read, and finally 30 articles were included. Of the 39 full‐text articles reviewed, three were excluded due to the lack of a suitable control group, two because TDIs diagnostic criterion was not specified, two for only assessing family impact, and two studies because they also included adults and results were not stratified by age . Agreement between the two reviewers during the 3 phase process was good ( k = 0.735).…”

Objectives: Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in childhood and adolescence are a potential public health problem given their prevalence and consequences. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of TDIs on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschoolers and schoolchildren, by synthesizing the available evidence.Methods: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, ScieLo and Lilacs databases since January 1966 until March 2016. The included studies compared OHRQoL between groups with and without TDIs, using validated instruments. The selection process and data extraction were carried out by two researchers independently. A third reviewer resolved discrepancies. Methodological quality was assessed with the Effective Public Health Practice Project's Quality Assessment Tool. Meta-analyses were performed using random effect models, separately for preschoolers and schoolchildren.Results: Of 213 identified articles, 26 studies (involving a total of 4582 patients and 13 601 controls between the ages of 1 and 15 years) met the inclusion criteria.Most of the studies had been published in the last 5 years, and their methodological quality was judged to be moderate. The TDIs group had a significantly higher chance of reporting any impact on OHRQoL than controls for both preschoolers (OR = 1.44; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-1.63; I 2 = 0%) and schoolchildren (OR = 1.31; 95% CI: 1.04-1.66; I 2 = 70%). In preschoolers, the OR for OHRQoL impact for complicated vs uncomplicated TDIs was 1.53 (95% CI: 1.04-2.26;The social domain was the most affected one in schoolchildren (standard mean difference = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.13, 0.55; I 2 = 68%). Conclusion:Traumatic dental injuries have a negative impact on OHRQoL of both preschoolers and schoolchildren. Outcome standardization to measure OHRQoL impact, such as mean score differences and cut-off points, is needed. Prospective cohort studies are recommended to confirm these findings and to understand how TDIs' impact changes with time. K E Y W O R D Sadolescent, child, preschool, quality of life, tooth injury

“…The index Oral Impact on Daily Performances (OIDP) was used in this study, according to which an impact was recorded in 88.4% of trauma cases and in 58.9% of the control group. The predominant impact, according to the index, related to “smile and showing the teeth without embarrassment” with the trauma group registering a significantly higher negative score [10]. …”

Introduction:Injuries concerning the skull, the mouth and thus potentially involving the mouth and teeth are characterized as major public health problems due to their high prevalence and very serious functional and aesthetic consequences. Pain, aesthetic and functional problems arising from dental trauma significantly disrupt normal function, and impact, often dramatically, on young patients’ quality of life.Procedure:With regards to the behavior management approach to a child who has suffered a dental trauma, dentist’s first step is to be to reassure child and parents. They should feel that the emergency is being properly treated on the part of the dentist and feel safe. The dentist should offer psychological support to child and parents and focus on alleviating any possible pain the child may feel. But, before that, a good level of communication with the child should be established.Conclusion:This can be achieved through the tell-show-do technique, a presentation of the special session’s structure, the positive reinforcement method, the attention distraction method and exploiting the child’s imagination. The detailed description of the treatment to be followed is crucial for reducing the child’s level of stress, as well as that of the parents. Immediately after the completion of treatment, dentist should give listening time to the parents for any queries and include the child who probably wants to share their experience.

“…Traumatic dental injury with unmet treatment need is associated with reduced OHRQoL; adolescents affected by TDI with unmet treatment need are at greater risk of suffering impacts on OHRQoL in the form of Oral Impact on Daily Performance OIDP compared to those with no history of TDI [4].Complicated TDIs have a negative impact on the OHRQoL of preschool children and their parents [5].…”

Abstract: TDI with unmet treatment need in this sample of adolescents is associated with reduced OHRQoL. Compared to adolescents with no history of TDI, those affected by TDI with unmet treatment need are at greater risk of suffering impacts on OHRQoL in the form of OIDP.
